someone like you

《Someone Like You》的創作靈感來自於阿黛爾自身的一段破碎戀情，歌曲中講述的是她慢慢接受並開始走出這段戀情。阿黛爾在聽說前男友結婚的消息后寫下了這首歌曲，並用木吉他作為樂器完成了歌曲的初始版本，而歌曲的最終版本是以鋼琴作為伴奏。《Someone Like You》的歌詞和簡譜由阿黛爾·阿德金斯和丹·威爾遜進行撰寫，並由兩人負責音樂製作，歌曲的混音處理由湯姆·艾姆赫斯特進行。

I heard that you're settled down

That you found a girl and you're married now

I heard that your dreams came true

Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you

Old friend, why are you so shy?

Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light

I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited

But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it

I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded

That for me, it isn't over

Never mind, I'll find someone like you

I wish nothing but the best for you, too

Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you said

Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead

Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead

You know how the time flies

Only yesterday was the time of our lives

We were born and raised in a summer haze

Bound by the surprise of our glory days

I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited

But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it

I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded

That for me, it isn't over

Never mind, I'll find someone like you

I wish nothing but the best for you, too

Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you said

Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead, yeah

Nothing compares, no worries or cares

Regrets and mistakes, they're memories made

Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?

Never mind, I'll find someone like you

I wish nothing but the best for you

Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you said

Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead

Never mind, I'll find someone like you

I wish nothing but the best for you, too

Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you said

Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead

Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead

聽說 你心有所屬

你遇到了她 即將步入婚姻殿堂

聽說你美夢成真

看起來與我相比 她才是最好的

老朋友 你害什麼羞

遮遮掩掩 欲蓋彌彰 這不像你啊

我討厭別的女孩出現在本應是我分享的生活

但是我無法逃避 無法抗拒

我希望你能看到我的臉 然後記起

對我來說 一切都還沒結束

沒關係 我會找到某個像你的他

並送給你我最誠摯的祝福

不要忘記我 我懇求你 我記得你說過

有時候愛情能永遠 但有時又如此傷人

有時候愛情能永遠，但有時又如此傷人

你知道嗎 時光飛逝的多快

就在昨天 還是我們一起的生活

我們的愛在夏日的薄霧中萌芽

青澀的歲月滿載輝煌與驚喜

我討厭別的女孩出現在本應是我分享的生活

但是我無法逃避，無法抗拒

我希望你能看到我的臉 然後記起

對我來說 一切都還沒結束

沒關係 我會找到某個像你的他

並送給你我最誠摯的祝福

不要忘記我 我懇求你 我記得你說過

有時候愛情能永遠 但有時又如此傷人

無與倫比 無需擔心或關心

他們的回憶里滿是遺憾與誤解

有誰能知曉這其中的酸甜苦楚

沒關係 我會找到某個像你的他

並送給你我最誠摯的祝福

不要忘記我，我懇求你，我記得你說過

有時候愛情能永遠 但有時又如此傷人

有時候愛情能永遠 但有時又如此傷人

沒關係 我會找到某個像你的他

並送給你我最誠摯的祝福

不要忘記我 我懇求你我記得你說過

有時候愛情能永遠 但有時又如此傷人

有時候愛情能永遠 但有時又如此傷人

《Someone Like You》的旋律優美而憂傷，這首歌不僅在向人們訴說著失戀的痛苦，同時也告訴人們要勇敢去追尋愛情，即使最後愛情破碎也要勇敢走下去。在歌曲中不時地出現類似倚音的裝飾音。歌曲的節奏在開始時很輕柔，曲調是重複性的，阿黛爾將旋律保持在一個很窄的頻率範圍內，歌詞深情而剋制。當進入副歌部分時，阿黛爾的嗓音升高了八度，聲音也越來越響亮。和聲出現了變化，歌詞也更加感人。在《Someone Like You》中，阿黛爾用傷感的聲音告訴我們，那些讓你銘記的愛情都是帶著傷痛的，即使那麼多年過去，我們也希望愛過的人依然記得自己。

《Someone Like You》的MV在2011年9月27日進行拍攝，並在法國巴黎取景，由傑克·納瓦指導拍攝。MV運用了黑白的背景襯托出這首傷心情歌的意境，在MV中，阿黛爾獨自一人走在法國的大街上，邊走邊唱著這首傷心情歌。在MV的後半段，阿黛爾停止歌唱並暫停在亞歷山大三世橋來眺望著塞納河，然後她繼續獨自在街上行走最後進入大樓，而這時她正望著她的前男友。這支MV還將巴黎的埃菲爾鐵塔列為背景之一。
